Introduction
First off, I would like to thank you for choosing this book, and I hope that you find it informative and helpful no matter what your goals may be. Throughout this book, we will discuss what foraging is and how you can safely forage for some of your food.
Foraging is something that most people have heard of. We learned in history class that our ancestors, the hunter-gatherers, were foragers. That was their only means of finding food. But then times changed and grocery stores became our main source of produce. Sure, they are convenient, and you can find food there that you would never find in your backyard, but they will never be as fresh as what you can forage.
A person who forages for part of their food will become more independent in their food supply. They wont be handing over as much of their money to large corporations. They also know exactly where their food came from. When shopping at the grocery store, you dont know as much about the produce. You arent sure how long it has been since they were picked, or how long they have been sitting on the shelf. Plants are always better when eaten as close to picking as possible. They have a higher nutrient content at that point. But most of the food at the store has traveled hundreds of miles, and they were picked before they were ever fully ripe. Plus, if you want to make sure you arent consuming any chemicals, you are going to have to get organic produce, which can get very pricey.
